Design
- Obverse
- A half-length portrait of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) facing left, wearing the full-dress uniform of the Royal Pages (Mahatlek) military corps. Along the left edge is the royal name "จุฬาลงกรณ์" (Chulalongkorn) and along the right edge "สยามินทร์" (Sayamin). The name of the engraver of the master die appears in small Roman letters as "A.PATEY", short for Augustes Patey.
- Reverse
- An image of Erawan (the three-headed elephant). The text at upper left reads "สยามรัฐ" (Siam State) and the text at upper right gives the Rattanakosin Era year of production as R.S. 127 (1908), with the number ๔๑ (41) placed above the letters "ร.ศ." (R.S.). The text below states the value, divided into the word "หนึ่ง" (one) at left and the word "บาท" (baht) at right.
